Victorian and Edwardian Beards as the Apex of Gentlemanly Adornments.
Gentle Readers
The Nineteenth Century was a renaissance of facial adornment and experimentation. Never before or since has the beard been such an exquisite presentation of unabashed masculinity. Herein, find but a poor sampling of the magnificence that was the Century of the Beard.
Though last week's gentleman was fine looking, the mutton chops worn by Mr. West of San Francisco seem better realized. I believe it has much to do with the consistent continuity across the entirety of the beard. A magnificent piece of work.
